Arch with new install medium

Postby viking60 » 08 Sep 2012, 18:09

Arch just became human again with a new install medium. This will make it a lot easier to install Arch again. You can download it here. Normal "non rocket scientist" people can now download and install Arch again :-D
As is customary by now there is a new install medium available at the beginning of this month. The live system can be downloaded from Download and be used for new installs or as a rescue system.

In addition to a couple of updated packages and bug fixes the following changes stand out:

First medium with Linux 3.5 (3.5.3)
The script boot parameter works again (FS#31022)
When booting via PXE and NFS or NBD the ISO will be copied to RAM to ensure a more stable usage.
The live medium contains usb_modeswitch and wvdial which e.g. allows to establish a network connection using an UMTS USB dongle
Furthermore the newest versions of initscripts, systemd and netcfg are included.
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.
